Need to know WHO leaked the information on the draft of his book? Was it from a Deep Stater in the NSC/White House or in the publishing organization, or by some leftist congressperson?

This calls for a grand jury investigation. No Fifth Amendment rights there. Tell the truth or go to jail. That’s the way it should be but Democrats don’t believe in it unless it is to their benefit.

“””anybody manage to find a copy of this putative letter online?””

If you click on the word “LETTER” (which is blue in the article) first sentence in the 2nd paragraph which starts “””The letter was sent to Bolton’s lawyer, Charles Cooper, from Ellen Knight, “””” you go to a direct link of the letter

The President’s attorney read the LETTER from the NSC body/reviewers that the manuscript contains such. The WH has not been provided a copy. This was read during the questioning session today. Now the question is who is leaking TS info to the NYT. Someone up Poop Creek, going to jail.

Information going around is ...
Any manuscript or book that is to be made available to the public by anyone who holds, or held a security clearance, must first be reviewed by the NSC for potential classified information.

LTC Vindman’s (Remember him?) twin brother, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman is the person to whom the NSC assigned the declassification review of Bolton’s manuscript.

Trump should get a copy of the manuscript, have the sensitive parts redacted and then post the entire book on line!

Of course ... It would be free of charge! 😁

All alphabet agencies require, or used to, review of anyone’s book before it even got to a publisher for review because of classified info being in the book. They could tell a peon no, you’re not publishing this book.

Isn't that what Flounder Vindman, Jr. was supposed to do? If he allowed that info to get to the New Swamp Times, he should be arrested along with Bolton.

Bolton's been around long enough to know the difference between Top Secret information and cake recipes.

Well color me SURPRISED!!!! Looks like we’ve found the DEEP STATE Trump haters in the NSC. Time for courtmartials and long jail terms (if they are guilty).

Time to clean up and out the NSC for security reasons. Get rid of most, if not all of the Obama regime holdovers. There has got to be a group of loyal govt personnel who can fill their spots.

As long as he is perceived as a threat to President Trump, the leftists will protect him. He could publish it as is and not suffer any consequences. Laws are for the little people, not the fellow travelers leading us into the glorious new tomorrow. (Sadly not sarcasm, that’s obviously how far too many people feel.)

"...or otherwise disclosed..."

A clear dirt-nap-level-penalty crime...
